Why is the coincidence rate between the periodic table of chemical elements and the names of emperors in Ming Dynasty so high?
The current list of chemical elements is duplicated with the names of many princes in the Ming Dynasty. Let's just say a few casually. Zhu Tongniobium, Zhu Cheng Cobalt and Zhu Cheng Chromium ... all of them have the names of elements in the periodic table. What is the reason? Some people may say that the low repetition rate is due to the adoption of Zhu's invention in the chemical element list. These are all due to Zhu Yuanzhang, who set a family seniority of 2 words for each of his sons to sort. He should also do this to determine the relationship between the official and the ordinary, so as to maintain the rule of Zhu Yunwen.
But no one expected that it was later because his son Zhu Li became emperor, and since then, the seniority of the emperor has also changed. Zhu Yuanzhang is a famous workaholic. When he was in office, he not only did his own thing, but also made plans for his descendants. He thinks that the names of his descendants should be sorted according to the radicals of wood, fire, earth and gold. So he named all his 26 sons with wooden characters, and then his grandchildren named them with fire characters, and his great-grandchildren named them with earth characters, followed by gold characters and water characters, and then circulated again. I have to admire his foresight, but he didn't think of a problem. Chinese characters are limited, while those of future generations are infinite.
When the number of his children and grandchildren reaches several hundred thousand, Chinese characters are not enough. At first, children and grandchildren could be picky about names, but later they were all used up. Besides, we should avoid ancestors when naming names, and we can't use duplicate names. This has also caused the problem that it is more and more difficult to name later. Finally, I was forced to do nothing, because the rules of my ancestors could not be broken. Therefore, the children and grandchildren of Zhujiajian began to name them casually, as long as they can use the five elements as names, and some created their own words, which is why the names of Zhujiajian's children and grandchildren occupy the periodic table of elements.
Later, when the periodic table of elements was introduced into China, Chinese scientists hoped to translate it into Chinese, but they couldn't find a suitable word for translation. Besides, translation should not be so sloppy. Because I saw the genealogy of Zhu family, many of them are made of metal radicals, so I reformed it. Most of the periodic table of elements adopts the name of Zhu family. I have to say, looking at it now, Zhu Yuanzhang is really very wise. Even though his children and grandchildren have passed away, the names are still circulating. Some people say that they believe that if Zhu Yuanzhang were alive, he would laugh. I have to say that the name of this family is really very regular, and it is not easy to continue.
